JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted April 30, 2021 #151 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I saw this last night, additionally, Australia withdrew its men's C1 1000m quota, giving it to Samoa and apparently Sweden wanted it's men's K1 200m quota back which meant Russia lost its men's K2 1000m quota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted April 30, 2021 #152 Share Posted April 30, 2021 if you feel smart, just try to figure out how things work with ICF qualification system, you won't feel smart anymore I'm somehow glad we are not good in this sport and I don't have to go through all these weird things, Weightlifting was enough for me. phelps, Oldira and NearPup 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,128 Posted April 30, 2021 Author #153 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Ivana Kmeťová is pregnant, which is ofc an awesome news but also means she is pausing her career now and will not fight for the Tokyo Olympics anymore. With Kohlová partially retired and the young girls not good enough yet she Was obviously our only hope to have a female representative in this sport in Tokyo. That is for us then here. Maybe a M C1 quota is still feasible by Rusnák or Farkas, but I do not see anything more. Going to be our smallest Canoeing Sprint team at the Olympics for ages (and this include also the former Czechoslovak era in which slovak paddlers always made up the majority) However at least we have the M K4 quota secured which is the most important.

JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted April 30, 2021 #157 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Yeah, it's confusing. At least the ICF is giving us a simulation, in 2012 and 2016 they didn't so it was always a guessing game until just before the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted May 1, 2021 #158 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Interesting. Sweden is suddenly listed as qualified in the M K1 200 m. https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/canoe_sprint_quota_allocation_-_tokyo_2020_-_media_format.pdf https://www.canoeicf.com/news/mexico-make-olympic-slalom-debut-after-quota-allocations #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,128 Posted May 5, 2021 Author #159 Share Posted May 5, 2021 looks like Peter Gelle who won the K1-1000m quota will very likely miss the games, he totaly flopped at the National races this week finishing only 6th and worse... The composition of our K4 for Tokyo will be officialzed after next week Szeged race. The coaches decided to send there the 4 best of this week national races. so the crew is Samuel Baláž - Denis Myšák (Silver in Rio 2016) - Erik Vlček (39 years old legend, Silver in Rio 2016, Silver in Beijing 2008, Bronze in Athens 2004, 10 times K4 world champion may compete at his 6th Olympics which will be absolute Slovak record of all sports) - Adam Botek if they manage to achieve the desired result in Szeged next week and will repeat it at the ECH then they will go to tokyo in this composition. Otherwise depending on the results Csaba Zalka may replace one of them. Gelle however will have another chance at Szeged to defend his K1 quota. Also the K2 crew is finalized Samuel Baláž – Adam Botek The whole team for Szeged OQ, Szeged WC and Barbaul OQ is here https://www.canoe.sk/sk/hladka-voda/clanok/navrh-nominacie-na-zaciatok-sezony-2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him competing against Dostál and nearly beating him at one WCH or ECH ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
